Because of you, Alma found Jesus — and brought her family with her!

Seven-year-old Alma had heard something wonderful from her friends in Argentina — there was a special Bible app just for kids and a place called Sunday school where children could learn about God’s love.

The little girl’s heart was captured. She went to her mother with an urgent request: Could she please download the Bible App for Kids on her phone? And could she go to Sunday school, too? When her mother hesitated, Alma cried — not from sadness, but from a deep longing to discover more about Jesus.

Her mother’s heart was moved. She downloaded the Bible App for Kids that you helped provide, and she took Alma to the local church’s Sunday school program supported by your partnership.

What happened next was beautiful to witness. As Alma absorbed the colorful Bible stories on the app and listened eagerly to the teachings at Sunday school, the Good News began transforming her young heart. But the change didn’t stop there.

Alma carried that joy home. She shared what she was learning with her family, her excitement infectious. Her mother, who had initially just been accommodating her daughter’s request, found herself listening more intently to the Sunday school teachings when she dropped Alma off.

Today, something remarkable has happened — the entire family gathers together to worship Jesus, all because one little girl’s hunger for God’s Word opened the door for His love to transform them all.

“I see hope now!” How you helped save Hyuen’s life

She was drowning in grief and trauma.

Hyuen, a teenage girl in Vietnam, was mourning the death of her beloved mother when she narrowly escaped a sexual assault.

With no one to turn to — she comes from a strongly Buddhist family — she kept her pain hidden and began to contemplate suicide.

That’s when God used your generosity to reach her.

Through your support, our online Christian youth outreach in Vietnam connected with Hyuen at exactly the right moment. Over time, she opened up more. And though she was afraid to tell her family, she believed in the Gospel. She believed in Jesus.

She’s not yet able to share her new beliefs with her family — but she prays with our team, continues asking spiritual questions, and recently told us, “I finally see hope in my life now.”

This miracle is unfolding because you made it possible for us to be there when she needed someone most.

God’s Word for all the children of the world!
